Yesterday was pretty good. I went to classes ("uni") but at this point in time I think I've made my decision about leaving so it's almost pointless for me to continue attending lectures if I'm just going to inevitably leave anyway. I was telling one of my classmates about how I almost feel like a ghost -- as if my time is up here and I don't really "feel" like I'm here anymore. I'm trying to change that mentality though and make the best of the rest of my time here. I went out last night to celebrate my friend Noah's 21st birthday and that was alright. I shared some of my Grey Goose with him, but since there were heaps of people there we went to his room so I could give him some. I'm not about to share my expensive vodka with a bunch of strangers!

As I said in my Facebook, last night I had a little time of self reflection as I was walking home from Noah's party. I just hope that I'm making the right decision by leaving here and going to either London for school or Illinois. To be honest, I don't really want to go back to Illinois. I miss my family/friends but now that I've had more of a taste of what it's like to live across the world and be in a foreign country and make friends in an amazing and new environment, it's hard to go back to the Midwest. We'll see what happens when I get my letter from U of Illinois and then I'll make my decision accordingly.

On a happier note, my flatmate, her friends, and I went to South Beach in Freemantle yesterday before I went to Noah's party. THAT WAS AWESOME! We went swimming in the ocean and I got to meet my flatmate's friends that she hangs out with and Xani (my flatmate) brought her dog to the beach and we all went swimming together. It was adorable! AND Xani brought her pois to the beach and she fire twirled! I would show you pictures but unfortunately my digital camera is dead right now so I didn't get photos. I did get a couple photos of the sunset on the beach before my camera died though!

 I wanted to take a picture of the dog beach section of South Beach in Freemantle.

The beautiful sunset over South Beach, Freemantle. Gorgeous!! I wanted to swim to that yacht!

More to come later!
